Name of Assignment

1. Study your local newspaper and choose three good examples and three poor examples of job advertisements. Show the examples and explain your choices.

2. Review current business magazines and identify one large public corporation and one start-up that have a board of advisors. How will these boards be used differently or similarly? How would you expect a board of advisors to interact with a board of directors?

3. Companies planning to make an initial public offering (IPO) must submit a financial plan as part of their prospectus. From the Internet, collect a prospectus from two different companies and analyze their financial plans. What were the major assumptions made in constructing these financial plans? Compare and contrast these financial plans with what we would expect of a financial

plan as part of a business plan.

4. What volume of sales is required to reach breakeven for the following business: The variable cost of producing one unit of the product is $5, the fixed costs of plant and labor are $500,000, and the selling price of a single

product is $50. It is not always easy to classify a cost as fixed or variable. What happens to the breakeven calculated above if some of the fixed costs are reclassified as variable costs? What happens if the reverse is the case (i.e., some of the variable costs are reclassified as fixed costs)?
